In an obscure bit of hunting related trivia...what tie-in does the guitar Jake Owen used in the pre-show have to the hunting industry? It was made in BOOGER BOTTOMS? Nope, Sparta, Wisconsin! It was a McPhearson guitar. Made by Matt McPhearson of Mathews Archery. That one looked nice but boy, are the new ones ugly.

“Boogity——Boogity——Boogity!” DW is the worst he’d have a hard time calling a turtle race it would be to fast for him to keep up same stupid jokes race after race year after year Don’t have a dang idea where you’re coming from!? To each his own! Frankly, I have enjoyed DW through the years!

I never have understood the plates...tell them a maximum limiting chip, rear gear, final drive of the transmission and tire height then turn them loose.
Or even leave the chip out and see what they can do. Figure speed based on what they can spin them to (plus a little)and see who will go past that.

I’d say much of the same following the leader till the last 50 than crash after crash till we’re down to 10 good cars 10 with taped parts or missing parts should just run a 25 lap heat and call it a day now that I’d watch with out a nap. See above post

Was a fan of open-wheel racing and didn't believe that real race cars had doors and fenders until the '60's. Then Nascar became interesting and the great horsepower races by the manufacturers.
Finally started to tire of it and ever since Dale Sr. died I've been gradually weaning myself away. Not sure if it's the general loss of appetite for motor sports in my advancing years, or more specifically Nascar's version.
Dirt track racing seems to have changed very little by comparison, but when I went to a couple of them down at Paragon a few years ago, the excitement that was there when I was a kid growing up about five miles from the track just didn't re-kindle.
Watched the race yesterday, most of the first two segments live, then the rest when we got home from dinner with the kids. That's become our norm for Nascar, set it to record then catch it when nothing else is competing for our attention, and we can fast forward through the commercials and the red flags and rain delays. I think if we didn't have that ability, we'd have already moved on to other entertainment.
We are finding golf to be more of a spectator sport than it was while we were still playing it (or I should say "playing at it").
Haven't fished much the last several years. May go through the fly fishing gear and start practicing casting again for this spring. I bet there's still some big bluegills out there somewhere that will rise to a black rubber spider if I can lay it softly near the bank without catching a tree.
Not quite ready for shuffleboard at the retirement center yet.
